LET’S MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING
Little footbridge
9 pieces 5 steps
A small footbridge with two solid supports, a flat deck and side rails. Nine pieces make a path for imaginary visitors.
Free instructions. No account needed.
A little before you begin
You will need one 4 × 8 plate and four 1 × 2 double-height wall bricks, as well as four 2 × 4 bricks.
The centre path is two studs wide. This is a footbridge for pretend play; it is not sized for the library’s wheeled vehicles.
Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →
A LITTLE PREPARATION
Gather your pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE
Now for the little story.
Lay the bridge across a paper stream. Walk a finger along the path, then tell a story about who is crossing and where they are going.
